I finally took the time tonight to upload from my phone. There may be some repeats here but here we go!
This woman, ME, could not make it through security at the airport. Yep, I beeped when I went through the detector. Here is what I was wearing. I received a pat down, not fun. My older children had to take care of all of our carry on baggage and their little brother while I received a pat down. This is not during my pat down, I am sure that the agents would not allow that. This is me in the Atlanta airport after flying for too many hours to recount. I am tired, I had spilled my Chick-fil-a sweet tea all over my shoes after walking a very long distance to purchase said sweet tea and a sandwich. I know you are waiting to hear, I did not receive another pat down when I returned home. I wore the exact same outfit with one minor undergarment change…
Pa-Pa and her cousin
Pa-Pa and K and my first Panera Bread experience just before taking K to the airport to go back to college. She should have dropped out and vacationed with me, just kidding!
Pa-Pa and I in front of The Oasis, a pizza place.
My cousin, Mel and I.
Cousins, a new sweet word for my Blessings!
We gave up trying to get the youngest two in, here are the photo trained cousins!
Benjamin having a little down time while everyone got ready for the day.
While we were there my father-in-law at surgery, this huge board was outside of the UT medical center to show support for Pat Summit and her recent alzhimer’s diagnosis, the Blessings signed, I took pictures.
We traveled in comfort!
Nantahala Lake in North Carolina
The view of the lake from where we stayed. Loved that porch!
Lots of family at church, Grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. We took up more than one pew! I also kept getting introduced to distant relatives in this church that had the same last name as we do.
More cousin photos!
The kids in the General Lee, Benjamin didn’t care that the doors opened, he wanted to climb out!
My Aunt and I.
Benjamin and my niece playing on the organ, the same one that I played on when I was his age.
Benjamin got his first barber shop haircut. I had never been in a barber shop before.
We had dinner with my brother and his wife and girls. More cousins!! We love cousins!
Oh, and more cousins, they were trying to build a human pyramid, fun times!
Oh Melissa, you look so suspicious. I got wanded once too. They said it was my "long flowing skirt." Okay.
ReplyDeleteGetting wanded is way better than the pat down. I agree, profiling was a better option.
DeleteWow, an undergarment change, really? I like the pictures, looks like you had fun. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I have beeped before and they just wanded me and sent me on and said it couldn't be my underwire. This time I didn't say anything about that and got the pat down.
DeleteI lost my very best (expensive!) embroidery scissors once b/c I forgot they were in my husband's carry-on bag! I miss them terribly, but I'm too tight to buy another pair :(
ReplyDeleteyay for cousins! What a fun time you all must have had.
ReplyDeletePhone pictures are fun, spontaneous! Sorry about the security issues. No fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm NOT happy with rediclous airport security, a position where common sense is NOT a job qualification. Otherwise your vacation looks wonderful - thanks for the show & tell. Are both you and your husband originally from NC?
ReplyDeleteNeither of us are from NC but my husbands Dad lives there.
